Time-course and mixed-effects analysis of educational eye-tracking data¶

Description¶
The author argues that eye tracking's main advantage is detailed time-course information, which total fixation time or gaze duration fails to exploit because it "sums up all fixations or gazes made to a particular area of interest." She recommends first-pass and reinspection measures, fixation probability over time, and scanpath analysis, and notes that traditional ANOVA or t test approaches are often not optimal because eye movement data have correlational structure, missing observations, and unbalanced data.
Accounts¶
- Eye movement data analysis should use measures and statistical methods that capture the time-course of processing and the data's correlational structure: The author argues that eye tracking's main advantage is detailed time-course information, which total fixation time or gaze duration fails to exploit because it "sums up all fixations or gazes made to a particular area of interest."
